Heavy duty Electric Scooters for Adults

Electric scooters for adults are great for anyone who needs a daily commute to work or school. However, most commuter e-scooters can only carry riders that weigh less than 100kg. Because of this, most e-scooters are not suitable for heavy adults. Fortunately, Mearth offers heavy duty electric scooters with a higher weight capacity and a more powerful performance.

Since heavy-duty e-scooters have a more durable build and more advanced components, these e-scooters are more resilient to the test of time. 

Enjoy a comfortable ride

Some heavy-duty e-scooters, like the Mearth GTS Series, offer an attachable seat, enabling riders to sit while cruising through different terrains. An electric scooter seat is perfect for those who prefer riding their e-scooter like a motorcycle. Sitting while riding also adds better comfort and ride quality. Look for electric scooters with a seat if you prefer riding in a seated position.

What to consider when buying a heavy-duty electric scooter for adults

Battery capacity

The battery is the most important part of the e-scooter since it is the power source. If you need a heavy-duty scooter that can carry heavier loads, look for an e-scooter that has at least a 1000-Wh battery capacity. The best off-road electric scooters make great heavy-duty e-scooters since they use large batteries.

Motor power

Good heavy-duty e-scooters should have enough motor power output to carry the rider on off-road paths and steep inclines. For example, the Mearth GTS MAX has a maximum power output of 3200W. It’s an extremely powerful motor that can make riding hills and rough paths a breeze. It’s also an important factor to consider.

Build quality

Most heavy-duty electric scooters for dirt roads are made with durable materials like aerospace-grade aluminium or steel. These stronger materials allow riders to take on tough courses that most e-scooters can’t take. Riders can be assured that a heavy-duty e-scooter won’t break down easily after climbing steep hills or speeding through rough roads.

Safety features

Since heavy-duty e-scooters are high-powered, make sure that it also comes with a number of safety features to keep you safe and accident-free while riding. Common safety features include disc brakes, an electronic braking system, and shock absorbers, among others. These features are typical for premium, high-performance e-scooters.

Suspension

The suspension on an e-scooter helps stabilise your ride, especially when riding through bumpy roads. Common e-scooter suspensions include hydraulic, rubber, and spring suspension. Suspensions are usually found on high-end and heavy-duty electric scooters since these e-scooters often ride off-road or climb uphill. However, make sure that your chosen e-scooter has suspension for better ride quality.
